Excelent place to scape

Left on 07/13/2013 for a stay in July 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

I had a wonderful time. The cottage has everything to make you feel like home. Gulfport is a very peacefull place. On the afternoon, when the sun is going down, you can walk near the beach and watch the sky beautiful colors and' if you are luky, the dolphins.
